Each year, plan to attend BYU's Easter Conference. The featured speakers will talk about the Savior, his life, his mission, the Atonement, and his influence in our lives today. Attending the Easter Conference is an ideal way to prepare for the Easter season.

Each year, the RSC sponsors the annual BYU Church History Symposium, which has become the premier symposium for scholarship on Church history. This symposium is free to attend, and registration is not required.

“Roy and Carma T. Prete have created a superb contribution to the history of the Canadian Mormons. The Pretes’ work traces Church beginnings and growth from British Columbia on the west coast, Atlantic Provinces on the east, the far northern territories, and every province in between. It is a comprehensive first. Full of photos and inspirational storytelling, it is a must-read for all interested in Church history and the lives of our pioneers.” —Donald G. Godfrey, PhD

"Woods tells the history of Kalaupapa and its inhabitants, recounting the patients’ experience on the peninsula, relying heavily on oral histories, and emphasizing the Mormon connection to it. Woods brings to light inspiring stories of love, courage, sacrifice, and community. Kalaupapa is well illustrated to bring these stories alive." —Award Committee

“The analysis of the Manchester-Fayette dispute is a marvel of historical sleuthing. It is an example of the documentary editor’s art at its best. I was entirely convinced by [Dr. MacKay’s] explanation for the mislocation in the Book of Commandments. All the evidence is carefully reviewed and then brought to a head.” —Richard Lyman Bushman, professor emeritus of history at Columbia University

“The book’s greatest contribution is assembling the vast amount of bibliographic information on Nauvoo and Hancock County in one place.” —Jeffrey W. Hancks, EdD, Baxter-Snyder Professor of Regional and Icarian Studies, Western Illinois University Libraries “Kip Sperry is an expert who has worked in the field for many years. Many persons are descendants of ancestors who lived in Nauvoo and Hancock County. This work will put them in touch with their heritage and deepen their love for these forebears.” —Raymond S. Wright III, PhD, professor emeritus, Brigham Young University

“It is a book worth owning and reading, again and again. The Civil War’s battles were far removed from Utah, but that does not mean that the conflict had little impact on the Mormons, which Alford and his contributors have successfully shown.” —Nate Ricks, Juvenile Instructor

“Intended to help the reader gain a better understanding of these topics in a faith-promoting, but scholarly and honest environment, against the flood of misinformation available online today. . . . Useful reading for those preparing to serve a mission, for families, and for any individual interested in learning more about these issues or defending the church.” —Trevor Holyoak, FairMormon

“The large number of surviving photographs, which Minert has reproduced, add to the immediacy of the narratives. . . . Outstanding as an example of meticulous record-keeping.” —John S. Conway, University of British Columbia “Compelling stories. . . . A great resource for those who want to learn more about their German heritage or just about the Church in Germany. Minert has done a fantastic job bringing this little researched community to life.” —Amanda Hendrix-Komoto, PhD in history, University of Michigan 2015, Juvenile Instructor

2009 Geraldine McBride Woodward Award for Best Publication in International Mormon History, Mormon History Association

“In these professionally edited twenty-three journals are the records of both the rich history of a Mormon community and also the life experiences of a major contributor to that community.” —David J. Whittaker, curator of Western and Mormon Manuscripts, L. Tom Perry Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, and associate professor of history at Brigham Young University

“After nearly four decades, The Words of Joseph Smith is still the best single collection of Joseph Smith's discourses extant; it remains indispensable to a thorough study of the thought of Mormonism’s founding prophet.”—Curt Bench, owner of Benchmark Books
